Merry Christmas !!

A friend of mine found this painted turtle in his yard this summer. He brought it over to me for some pics and then I turned it loose in the water hole. It hung around for a few days and then wandered off downstream.

The lunar eclipse from early this morning. Conditions were perfect – clear & calm with temps in the low 30s. The Cold Moon was full at 2:14 AM CST. The coyotes were howling and several times I heard the echo of an owl hooting in the slough down across the highway. I even saw a shooting star. Very satisfactory for an event which has not occurred in the last 456 years.

Red-Tailed Hawk

This large hawk had just finished eating a vole before it moved to the top of the birdhouse. I doubt the little screech owl living inside liked having such a big hawk on its roof.

This screech owl has made the flicker box in my front yard its winter quarters. I’m hoping for a nest next spring.
